Chapter 70: Inspecting the Guard Brigade
After Yu Ruofei and the others saw Chen Jingyun, they were all a little excited, and even many people were a little restrained when they stepped forward to speak, even Yu Ruofei, who was three years older than Chen Jingyun, was no exception.
According to the generation, Chen Jingyun and Yu Ruofei are of the same generation, but the two take different paths, Chen Jingyun has been attending the Fuzhou Wubei School since he was a teenager, and then studying abroad, and although Yu Ruofei also went to a new-style school, he chose to go to Tokyo Imperial University when he studied abroad, and he studied law. The treatment of the two after returning to China is also different, as a top student of Tokyo Imperial University, it stands to reason that Chen Jingyun, who was born in Lu Shi, who specializes in training non-commissioned officer-level officers, has a much higher education, and Yu Ruofei can become an elite person with such qualifications in any other country, and it is not a problem to become a high-ranking official in politics.
However, after he returned to China, he faced the Manchu Dynasty, although in recent years the wind of constitutionalism has become louder and louder, but most of them are still illusory, and Yu Ruofei, who studied law, ran around for two years, but he achieved nothing, and then he had no choice but to go to Fuzhou Political Science and Law School as a teacher, and the wife he married was a woman from a small family, and he liked it, but his family had a great opinion of him, so that even the family looked down on him later. As for Chen Jingyun, who studied military affairs, as soon as he returned to China, he was the rank of deputy military academy, and he was a regular military academy in less than a month, and then in just two or three years, he was promoted to the orthodox leader, and he was already the standard of the first standard army.
After Chen Jingyun led the troops to get up, Yu Ruofei couldn't bear the thought of making contributions in his heart, and first asked Chen Yu's family to explore Chen Jingyun's tone, although Chen Yu's family is already a member of the Chen family, but he still has a lot of love for this nephew of his mother's family, so he personally told Chen Jingyun about this person, saying that if Chen Jingyun thinks it is okay, he will help this form get an errand.
After turning around like this, Yu Ruofei then officially met Chen Jingyun and said that he wanted to join the army.
I don't have much feeling for this person Chen Jingyun, although the two are cousins, they don't have much contact with each other, but in any case, this person is his relative, and this person is a serious and highly educated person, and there are not many graduates of Tokyo Imperial University in the whole of China, as long as he is willing to learn, he may not be able to become a Confucian general like Zhang Lingfu in the future, so Chen Jingyun put him in the guard regiment first and hung up a company commander's position, let him go to Fuzhou Military Academy as an auditor first, others are smart, The knowledge was also extraordinary, he went to listen to the short-term training courses and crash training courses of the Fuzhou Military Academy, and after only half a month of learning, he had gained a lot, and Chen Jingyun was surprised by his learning ability, and he was even more happy, so he let him hang the name of a battalion commander, on the one hand, he continued to audit at the Fuzhou Military Academy, and at the same time let him concurrently serve as a second-class staff officer of the General Staff, at that time Chen Jingyun said to him: "Now you only need to learn, the miscellaneous affairs of the army do not have to worry too much!" ”
Nearly two months later, Chen Jingyun took advantage of the expansion of the guard regiment into a brigade and promoted him to be the commander of the regiment, and at the same time let him concurrently serve as a first-class staff officer of the General Staff, already with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
After these two months, Yu Ruofei felt that the years after returning to China were simply in vain, he had known that this was the case, he didn't go to the Tokyo Imperial University in the first place, and went directly to the Lu Shi exam. However, the warmth and warmth of people over the years let him know that the reason why he was able to change from a law teacher to a lieutenant colonel officer in just two months was largely because Chen Jingyun supported him behind him, otherwise even if he was studious, he would not have been able to have such a speed of promotion.
So when he saw Chen Jingyun this time, he didn't dare to have any cousin's shelf at all, but he would call himself the governor when he opened his mouth, and accompanied Chen Jingyun to inspect the military camp with Lin Chengkun.
After inspecting the tour, Chen Jingyun and others watched a company-level exercise, in which the two companies attacked and defended each other.
Chen Jingyun's military knowledge is inherited from the original memory of 'Chen Jingyun', but he has not inherited 'his' talent and intuition for military affairs, and can only make a rough judgment on this exercise according to the memory in his mind.
And a kind of military assistant from Ma Cheng and other headquarters next to him watched it with relish, and even Junichiro Yamamoto on the side watched it very seriously. But Chen Jingyun felt bored after watching it for a few minutes, and in later life, he saw too many large-scale scenes in the movie, and he was a little disdainful of the current drill, which was not even a live ammunition. Even if it was boring to watch, he could still roughly see something, that is, this army has a very strong style of the book, well, it is the meat 'bullet stream' that is highly respected by the book.
In a simple sneak attack, the commander of Team A was able to fight a hard offensive battle, and rushed to the position of Team B with several waves of continuous charges, and finally although Team A won, Chen Jingyun had a big question mark in his heart, if a barbed wire fence was added in front of them, and two machine guns with even one machine gun behind the barbed wire, could they still rush to the position?
The answer is absolutely no!
It's just that now the Chinese [***] team, including the Beiyang Army, is too deeply affected by the army, and it is not so easy to change it for a while and a half.
Chen Jingyun also doesn't think that he is a god, and his casual orders can determine the combat style of the troops, after all, he can't directly change the way of thinking of so many generals in the troops, and when the battle is really coming, the commanders of the front-line troops will judge the situation with their own subjective will and then dominate the war, and most of the great people behind can only shout and wave their flags.
In order to change this trend, Chen Jingyun had to start with the Fuzhou Military Academy and directly inculcate various advanced concepts of war in the training of officers.
You have to let them know that these days are no longer the world of meat and ammunition, but the world of barbed wire and machine guns.
Although there are many Chinese, they are not used to die in vain!
Of course, this model of barbed wire and machine guns still has a lot of difficulties for the current national army, one is that there is too much lack of heavy machine guns: now each brigade in the national army is equipped with twelve heavy machine guns, which is not much superior to the Beiyang Army in terms of quantity, as for the eighteen light machine guns The firepower continues to be too poor, and the army is equipped with light machine guns mainly for offensive fire support, like trench defense warfare has to rely on heavy machine guns as the main force, and at the same time the European army that pioneered the barbed wire heavy machine gun tactics, The density of light and heavy machine guns has reached more than 200 units per division. In addition to the lack of firepower of this machine gun, barbed wire is also a big problem, there are no steel mills in Fuzhou, and it is not realistic to produce barbed wire in large quantities, and it will cost a lot if you rely on imports alone.
Based on this reality, Chen Jingyun doesn't plan to say anything now, he can take his time in the future, and don't rush this time!
Anyway, the warlords in the country are playing like this now, and they are not too backward.
After a drill, the time was already in the afternoon, during which Chen Jingyun and the generals went to the guard brigade's canteen to eat, and the cooks in the guard brigade's canteen were also ready, this day was served with all the same rice and big white steamed buns, and the next meal was a large piece of pork and fresh vegetables, and everyone could also receive an apple. This kind of food supply is basically a matter of face, it is for the purpose of taking pictures of the reporters of several newspapers who came with it, and even the guard brigade specially let the soldiers who came to eat wear clean and tidy military uniforms, and the more than a dozen officers and soldiers who were fortunate enough to stand behind Chen Jingyun and take pictures together were all selected by Lin Chengkun a day ago, not only were they handsome and handsome, but the dresses they wore were all newly issued.
It's nothing more than wanting to publicize: Look, how good the soldiers under my Chen Jingyun are, how vibrant and vibrant, why don't you wait for young people to join the army and be cannon fodder for me......
So the moment the magnesium light turned on when taking pictures, Chen Jingyun felt that he was smiling fakely, just like Jin Sanfat in later generations.
After doing these superficial efforts, Chen Jingyun entered the conference room with Lin Chengkun, Yu Ruofei and a few other senior officers of the guard brigade.
Lin Chengkun, Yu Ruofei and others were all sitting below to accompany them, and Chen Jingyun didn't dare to say anything first if he didn't speak, so he stared dryly.
After a while, Chen Jingyun coughed lightly, and when several people underground heard it, they immediately sat up straight and turned their eyes to Chen Jingyun.
"Today's inspection, in general, the guard brigade is doing a good job!" Chen Jingyun has always been slow to speak in the meeting, in the past, he carefully slowed down the speed of speech to prevent himself from saying the wrong thing, but after a long time, he has become a habit, and he is used to letting his own speed control the atmosphere of the meeting.
"The training of the troops is also very good, it can be seen that Cheng Kun has put a lot of effort into it!" Chen Jingyun said: "This is very good! When the guard brigade is good, I can rest assured. ”
Speaking of this, he looked around at the other Yu Ruofei and others in the field: "The guard brigade can be seen from his name what kind of unit he is, this is the part I trust the most and the last reliance, so in the future, you will have to pay more attention to the affairs of the guard brigade!" ”
Lin Chengkun immediately said: "Don't worry, the guard brigade swears allegiance to the governor!" ”
At this critical moment, the chain can't be dropped, so Yu Ruofei and a few others below also said in unison: "Swear allegiance to the governor!" ”
Regarding their statement, Chen Jingyun still listened quite comfortably, although it was said that people's hearts were separated by a belly, but if they were not loyal to themselves on the surface, what could they talk about in their hearts.
"I have always rewarded those who have meritorious." Chen Jingyun paused after saying this, and continued: "It's just that now the expansion of the National Army has reached a general scale, and it cannot be expanded in a short period of time, so I am afraid that you will have to wait for a few levels!" But! ”
"When the brigade is expanded into a division, if the guard brigade can continue to maintain the current state of hard training, then the guard brigade will be the first batch of troops to be expanded into a division!" Chen Jingyun released his reward in advance, which can be regarded as an expectation for everyone.
And after Lin Chengkun heard this, his face was ruddy, and he already imagined himself as a division commander in his heart, and even Yu Ruofei was secretly thinking that if it was expanded next year, he might be able to get a brigade commander position by then.
For a while, everyone in the conference room was immersed in a beautiful fantasy of the future......
